Educational resources library District provides the ability to view and share YouTube videos are approved (and other resources) without potentially content, comments, or link the peripheral.
This week, YouTube has launched his own solution: YouTube for schools, which allows the school adjust the firewall or filtering tool to direct visitors to the District Special education portal that provides free access to only approved video comments.
In response to this new solution from YouTube, Lightspeed systems is adding a feature to the web filter to provide seamless access to YouTube school for school portal. With this update, there will be a new option in the web filtering system policies Lightspeed to turn YouTube to access schools. When enabled, the filter will not block YouTube but would force YouTube traffic from within the school district to district schools site YouTube. “We are very glad we were able to work with YouTube on this solution and that we can give you another way school districts to keep the kids engaged through secure access video,” said Rob Chambers, Lightspeed systems Chief Technology Officer.
